Pay as much as you want. Get five games. Help charity.

[Stormwatch]

A kickass pack of FIVE great indie games:


The famous goo ball puzzle game.


Adventuring at the bottom of the sea.


A game of platforming and tar.


Bunnies and ultraviolence.


Surrealistic horror, realistic physics.


All of them are multiplataform: Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.

The price? Here's the cool part. You pay as much as you want! But don't be too tight-handed now, because a part is going to charity. And it's not one of those nasty tricks, "get this product for a hundred bux and the orphans get ten cents". No, this time you get to pick exactly how much of your money goes to the developers and how much goes to these important organizations:


Penny Arcade's Child's Play, who sends games, toys, and books to sick children in hospitals around the world; and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who fights for your privacy and freedom of speech on the internet.

These are all great games! I already own or have played all of them, but for those who haven't, don't hesitate, especially because you're paying any price you want AND you can help charities. World of Goo is an amazing puzzle/physics game; Aquaria is a metroid-style adventure game, although I didn't get to play much of it; Gish is a really creative physics platformer wherein you control a ball of tar; Lugaru is a 3D beat-em-up/fighting game that's a bit rough around the edges but still very fun, and contains bunnies and blood; finally, Penumbra is a REALLY awesome first-person survival horror game. Very unique and immersive controls, great environments.

It would have been thoughtful of them to include system requirements. Do any of these games work in Windows 2000?

I jumped on this and donated twice (once for me, once for the woman). Thanks for the heads-up!

Aquaria = not specified.
Penumbra, Gish = ok with 2000
World of Goo, Lugaru = requires XP (I heard XP programs usually do work fine under 2000)

EXTRA DEAL, EVERYONE!
If you get the bundle deal, you can also buy the whole Penumbra trilogy, usually $20, for just $5. Check here.

I bought them, but I doubt i'd play them. Do they work with the Saturn USB pad?

[Enhasa]

Aquaria runs just fine in 2000. I think the game sucks ass though, but hey, don't listen to me, give it a try for yourself, maybe you like it. You can get pretty much anything that runs in XP to run in 2000 if you really want (the actual differences are tiny, incompatibility just comes from OS version check), but sometimes it takes more effort (hex editing etc).

Every USB pad works with everything because, worst case, you can just use xpadder as long as Windows recognizes it.


I really don't want to shit on this, but I wish they would have picked different charities than Child's Play and EFF. Not that I'm against them, but they do well enough and I think there are more deserving, more bang-for-the-buck charities that don't get as much online love. Like: anything that feeds people. These charities are just so cool and indie and fashionable though, like malaria nets! Zinc or salts to prevent infant diarrhea deaths are not.

Seems that they all work in win2k without problems. Too bad these games are boring. Aquaria gets bonus points for being narrated by Sienna Miller though.

World of Goo is friggin' great. Instant classic, no less. Frankly, I am gobsmacked by its obscurity over here. Playing World of Goo is one of the best things you can do with one hand.

BONUS GAME!
Now the bundle also includes Samorost 2. If you've already bought, check your download page again.

Just sent my donation today. Gish looks awesome and WoG is great. Not so sure about the others (Penumbra looks OK, the first Samorost was brilliant).

[worstplayer]

And as a final megabonus, they're going to release source code for Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture. How awesome is that?

[BulletMagnet]

Not awesome enough to prevent a quarter of the bundle's downloads from being pirated. Yaaaay gamer culture!

Good on Wolfire for keeping their perspective and not being dicks about it, though. The whole DRM-happy "war against warez" mentality that's been ramping up again for the past decade or so doesn't really benefit anyone except for the "security" companies.

I nabbed this and gave $10. The two games I wanted were Gish and Aquaria, the rest are just gravy.

[sjewkestheloon]

$10 for six games, some of which I had already shown interest in? Yes please.

Wish I could have afforded to pay more.

I recommend also checking out Machinarium if you liked the samorost games. It's Amanita Designs newest(and longest) game and even has a few shmup minigames.

Ohhhh yes. I still haven't finished it but I absolutely adore Machinarium.
